The Clean Energy Initiative

The Clean Energy Initiative requires Missouri investor-owned electric utilities (Aquila and KCP&L among them) to get 15%of their electricity from renewable sources by 2020. Twenty-five other states have adopted this policy. This policy would not raise rates, but in the long run would shield consumers from spikes in energy prices. But just to be sure, the Clean Energy Initiative includes a 1% rate increase cap.

170,000 signatures have already been gathered in Missouri and it will be on the ballot in November. But more signatures are always welcome as are Organization and Business supporters.
